SOUP
Miriam Webster Dictionary defines Soup as “a liquid food, especially with a meat, fish or vegetable stock as a base, and oſten containing pieces of solid food”.
Tis seems such an inadequate definition of something that is so much more – a welcoming aroma on a cold day, a comforting quaff when unwell, a celebration of the garden’s harvest or a hearty, filling meal!
Here is my version of a recipe I cut out of the paper using parsnips. It was titled “Parsnip & Pear Soup” but since I added another vegetable, I have given it a special name. Oddly, when I was a child, I did not like parsnips but now find them very tasty.
2 Tbsp. butter 1 onion, chopped 1 large stalk of celery, chopped
Golden Soup
In a large pot, sauté onions and celery in butter for 10 minutes on low.
Meanwhile, peel and dice: 1 large pear 1 large sweet potato (not yam) 2 parsnips
Add to the pot, along with 3 cups vegetable (or chicken) broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
Blend soup with hand blender* until smooth.
Stir in: 1 tsp. ground ginger, salt & pepper to taste, ½ cup cream or milk. Heat through but do not boil.
Serve with a dash of freshly ground nutmeg.
*Or you can puree the soup in batches in a regular blender. I just recently acquired one of those hand-held blenders and now wonder how I existed without it!!
